The thought that there would be a client list has always been laughable. This wasn’t Louie‘s escort service in the Bronx.

I doubt he was doing it for profit, so it was an exclusive club of his friends that were also perverts.

Or as the conspiracy theory goes, it was designed to entrap key people, and that information would have been separated immediately not in a notepad that he carried in his pocket.

I was hoping @Brent in Az would post this Truth Social from Trump as well. I am not sure this is the best approach to use with that hard core 25% that has invested themselves in something that looks to have been vastly overblown if not an absolute real time conspiracy fantasy. (To paraphrase the President - If you believe this, you are no better than those who pushed the Russia hoax and I want nothing to do with you.) Charlie Kirk, Tucker Carlson, and Alex Jones seem incapable of resolving this in their own minds, much less offering clarity to their followers.

Truth Social

Truth Social is America's "Big Tent" social media platform that encourages an open, free, and honest global conversation without discriminating on the basis of political ideology.

Again, I think Ben Shapiro has offered the most rational perspective on this issue of any one I have yet heard in his dialogue with Megyn Kelley two days ago. Below is that short clip from their longer conversation.

I just saw that this morning.
Trump is a bonehead for posting that.
He needs to be smarter and realize that there will always be those that can smell the bullshit, and will call people out on it.
Not everyone will always be 100% behind him on issues,.......even me.

The republican base needs to stand in unity, even during disagreements.

Again, following the conspiracy theorist line

If Epstein was a “honeypot agent” for a government or group. It would be very damaging to release that information to the public. And most likely a similar program is still going on so what Patel and Bondi saw behind the curtain made them realize they could not release all the information.

Not sure if this got coverage here yet or not?

A report issued Monday linked Lee Harvey Oswald to CIA agents. Evidently, there were recently uncovered documents that showed the agents had interactions with Oswald.

What is the true story behind the assassination of JFK?

Link to the Washington Post piece that hit Monday:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...9.g_GPmr5n8O1LKZaBGgrwDRgKLEGoghdlPqvZGT3rvxg

From the first piece:

"The documents show that CIA officer George Joannides was financing and running a group of Cubans opposed to Fidel Castro. Members of the CIA-backed group had multiple interactions with Oswald over the course of three months, according to the report. One of the members was then allegedly approached by Oswald with an offer of help. It's unclear if the offer was accepted or if there was further contact."

Member of the Somali community in Minneapolis now running for mayor of that city. Spouting (most) of the same ideas as Mamdani is in NYC

Absolutely. MSP is a disgusting city in my limited recent visits. You have all the tell tale signs that include charity graft, pay to play politics, and foreign Marxists running the government. On the other hand you have useful leftist idiots like the Mayor and Chief of police that leave the city unprotected and a total shithole.

I took my daughter to the central library recently to learn about the military academies. Noon on a Saturday. There was a guy outside so tweaked out he was spinning around and hitting walkers by. This was all in full view of law enforcement that couldn't care less.

Well this does not help my LBJ theory.

 

[rookhawk]

Well this does not help my LBJ theory.

From what I understand about Oswald, he wanted to be special and important. Sorta like the weirdos in the 1980s that were reading the back pages of Soldier of Fortune magazine and had ideations of being the hero of some major event. Based on what we know about Oswald it wouldn't be incongruent facts to me if all of these things were absolutely true simultaneously: 1.) He was talking with the Soviets in Mexico, 2.) He was talking to anti-castro counterrevolutionaries and their CIA handlers.

All conjecture, but Oswald was a bit of a chump and a loser, that mentality goes along with seeking of importance or infamy achieved in a moment rather than a full life well lived.

Better send lots of pictures with those anti-drone directions when they send them to the Marines. Very impressive system!

Instead of using an “Autopen”. Trump needs to use a “Automouth”
Let Someone else speak for him.


His media face to face with the Crown Prince of Bahrain was embarrassing. Trump barfing nonstop rambling answers.

Then turning on his supporters over the Epstein files is not a smart move.

 

[HuntingGold]

Rasmussen is has polling results indicating the Epstein issue is really hurting Trump across all demographics, including MAGA.

MAGA or otherwise, if one's choice is admitting you unquestionably bought into a fantasy, or the President and his co-conspirators have been subsumed by the swamp and are lying, the latter will often be inevitable choice.

 

[Altitude sickness]

I think two truths can also be possible.

Before the recent Epstein files non release. I believed there was some real evidence for the DOJ to share with the public. However, I never thought Epstein would be stupid enough to have a list, physical or digital.

But I also believe that it could be possible that either Patel, Bongino and Bondi were proven wrong and there is no (non sensitive) information the public can benefit from. OR there is something so sensitive they can not share more. And all three people created the drama they are caught up in by spinning the conspiracy before in office.

Either way. I put all of the above options so far down on my priority list. It’s not even on my personal radar. I couldn’t possibly care less. Epstein is dead and his pimp is in prison.

The federal government and DOJ both have bigger fish to fry.

But, I don’t trust the federal government politicians Right or Left so zero disappointment here.

One thing, I don't get is how those on the left are stating it is not being released because he is on "the list". If Trump was anyway associated with Epstein, I am 100% sure it would have been leaked/released during the Biden administration.

As far as the MAGA goes, I have no idea why this is such a big issue. I'd rather worry about the strength of the dollar. When I ordered my Riby 1 GBP was $1.20 now it is $1.345. Dollar has lost 14.5% in value internationally.

For perspective, my 92K GBP (with options) Rigby was going to cost me $110K, now it will cost $128K. And that is before the punitive tariffs which could be another $32K if the 25% tariff holds.

So, just in a few months, Trump has cost people importing from overseas a surcharge of 39.5%. And this surcharge is applicable to almost everything being imported from the EU and GB. Is this sustainable, I thought he was supposed to fix inflation, not add to it?

The USA has always liked a "cheap" dollar, to make USA export goods more affordable. Of course if your a buyer of foreign goods a cheap dollar sucks.

Remember the trade deficit? We import heck of a lot more than we export. That applies to people from all walks of life.

Living in a lala land world culture with no way to relate to nor understand why 99.9 percent + of population doesn’t understand and may even hold that culture in contempt. Complaining about price increase from 110k to 128k for what amounts to nothing more than a fancy toy. Pooor bebees! Holy crap!
